Alby
Bia got out first from the elevator, then went out to the top courtyard of the building. The weather is quite cloudy and the wind is stronger above this building.
"What are you talking about?", asked Bia. He was standing on the outskirts of the building holding a barrier. His eyes stared downwards where the expanse of buildings and other buildings dominated the scene in this overcast weather.
I took a deep breath to say something.
"Aa..want to marry Amara!", I said slowly.
Bia bowed then smiled thinly without looking at me.
"Leave married!", he replied casually.
"She wants to hear your opinion. Aa knows, Mara must have much to confide in Neng!"
Bia chuckles softly.
"What do I think?" he asked, looking at me.
It's pretty! Bia's getting pretty now. Her cheeks were a little more stuffy and not as thin as they were with me. Febri makes Bia happy.
"It's just...."
"Who am I?", she asked me. I looked into her eyes that I felt a little condensed.
Did I hurt her again with me saying I was going to marry Amara?
"Mrs...?"
"What influence does this have on you? If you want to marry Amara, get married! I'm not your nobody, anymore. You were married to Silvy without my consent, who was obviously still your legal wife! Then, what is it now like you're asking me for permission to marry Amara? I'm nobody to you!"
Nyes!!!! Pain plus nyesek!
"Sir, Aa mint....!"
"I'm sorry! I've forgiven him for a long time."
Bia cut out the sentence I was going to say exactly as he said.
I held her shoulders to face me.
"Did neng still have the same feelings Aa?", I asked confidently.
Slowly, Bia took my hand off her shoulder.
"We're not mahram. Don't touch me carelessly! And.keep your attitude. Right now we are both, but we also have an obligation to keep the feelings of others. I take care of my husband's feelings, so do you!"
Heart melos. My bia has slowly changed.
"What's the reason you married Amara? If you love her, go on! If not, never do it. Although I know, without any love you could marry Silvy."
Again Bia smiled faintly.
"I really want to marry Amara, maybe that way.I can forget about you Neng!"
Bia bowed then looked back at the stretch of building down there. He looked at me.
"It's enough me and Silvy's house that you've hurt. No Bia or Silvy next!", he said.
"Aa know neng, Aa's mistakes are huge. Maybe she forgave Aa. But aa know, until whenever the wound that Aa gives will continue to imprint."
"I don't know what relationship you're in. That's none of my business. But..i hope...!", Bia's words paused.
"I hope, don't ever hurt Amara like you hurt me!", she said softly. But after that he smiled.
"There, but Febri's the same!", I replied. Bia knitted both of her eyebrows.
"What do you need? You want to ask her for an opinion because Amara used to like my husband?", asked Bia.
The word 'husband' coming out of her lips is enough to make me sting....
"I want to ask for his help. Currently ... Amara is in a difficult position. And Amara said she wanted to ask Febri for help."
"What kind of difficult position?"
"When does he have time, I want to talk to him?"
"Five o'clock in the afternoon Febri was home!", replied Bia.
I'm nodding.
"Maybe I'll be there in the afternoon. Tomorrow morning.I go to the village. Ever since we parted.I've never been home!", I said.
"Oh..!", that's all he said.
"Have you? I want to go home, like my children!", he said as he passed to the elevator.
"Neng!", call me again. Bia also stopped.
"Sorry, can our call be me you? No more neng or...Aa?", asked Bia.
"Why?You want to say, there's a heart we have to take care of?", how come I'm now standing next to him.
"Maybe you forgot the neng. When I was my wife, Febri still called you nduk, until now right? Then, what's the difference?", I'm back. That made her quiet. Next, he pressed the elevator button. We both got into the elevator and headed downstairs.
In the elevator, there was no conversation between the two of us. Maybe Bia was angry because of what I just said. But..Why can I forget Bia? Even now he is in front of me! I admit, the name Amara has begun to rule my heart but I also have not been able to completely erase the name Bia in my heart.
Ting! The elevator stopped on the ground floor. Bia left the elevator without saying goodbye to me. In a bit of a hurry I pulled his hand. Both of us became the center of attention of the people on the floor.
I am famous jutek and fierce, both with a woman. And I held his hand.
"Neng, Aa apologize!", I said. Bia took my hand off her wrist.
Bia just took a deep breath.
"However kos kieu kumaha maneh arek poho jeng feeling maneh ka urang?", asked Bia.((So how do you want to forget how you feel about me?)
I know he talks like that because there are a lot of people there. He chose to use a regional language that people might not understand.
"Hampura or neng!", I said again.
Bia just left me. I felt so ashamed to be the center of attention like that when I was with me.
"Are you paying to see me standing here?!", I shouted at people who were none other than employees of this building.
They disperse themselves regularly. Just about to step my foot, a voice that was quite disturbing to my hearing sounded loud.
"Mas Alby!!!"
I'm restoring my hair to rough! Who else wouldn't be that girl!!! Am I going to be a spectacle again by my own employees????
*****
Continue tomorrow again, huh ?? 🙏🙏🤗
